La Playa Carmel…where innovation begins and icons are born. In January 1983, Steve Jobs unveiled the Macintosh computer prototype to his development team at La Playa Carmel and ceremoniously christened it with a bottle of La Playa water. A go-to retreat for the Apple Founder during the early stages of the company, La Playa Carmel presents the ultimate conference venue or creative getaway for meetings and corporate retreats.

From small executive retreats to corporate meetings of up to 200 attendees, La Playa Carmel offers state-of-the-art conference facilities with unparalleled cuisine and attentive service. La Playa’s lush gardens and terraces provide an ideal setting for attendees to enjoy a memorable lunch or dinner al fresco. Experience a full activity program on-site or enjoy world-class golf, sailing and team building venues within minutes of this historic landmark. Meeting planners may also take advantage of full destination management services provided through our group concierge professionals.

La Playa Carmel features five spacious conference venue options with 4,937 square feet of indoor meeting room space as well as outdoor conference venues surrounded by award-winning gardens, perfect for any type of meeting or other catered event.
